Four-year-old filly Fakhira underlined her class with a determined victory in the 1900m Gr.1 (PA) Criterium Des Pouliches – Yas Racing at La Teste, enhancing her growing reputation among the leading Purebred Arabian fillies. Open to Purebred Arabian fillies and mares aged four years and older, the prestigious contest attracted a quality field of seven runners. Fakhira’s success improved her impressive career record to three wins from four starts. Trained by Thomas Fourcy, ridden by Christophe Soumillon, and carrying the colours of Khalifa bin Sheail al-Kuwari, Fakhira built on the promise she showed during an unbeaten three-year-old campaign, when she won both of her starts over 2000m and 2100m. Her latest Group 1 triumph further confirms her considerable talent and establishes her as one of the standout performers in the Purebred Arabian ranks. Fakhira had already hinted that a major success was within reach when making a highly encouraging seasonal return at Chantilly, where she finished a creditable third against the colts in the Gr.1 (PA) Qatar Derby des Pur-Sang Arabes de 4 Ans. Dropping back to face fillies and mares, the talented four-year-old fully capitalised on that promise, producing a determined performance to secure her first Group 1 (PA) success. Breaking smartly from the gates, Fakhira was settled comfortably in fifth as Bianca De Ghazal set the pace. The early stages unfolded at a measured tempo, with the leader dictating the race while the remainder of the seven-runner field held their positions, waiting to make their moves. The pace began to lift approaching the home turn, but Fakhira was still travelling powerfully, with Christophe Soumillon yet to ask for her full effort. Up front, Bianca De Ghazal continued to dictate proceedings, while Geneva ranged alongside the leader to mount a serious challenge. Straightening for home, Fakhira cruised into contention before sweeping to the front inside the final 300 metres, still travelling with plenty in hand. Geneva refused to yield on her outside, while TS Waseema (Mister Ginoux) launched a sustained challenge along the inside rail. The trio battled all the way to the finish in a thrilling climax. Showing both determination and class, Fakhira responded gamely when challenged, finding extra in the closing strides to deny Geneva by a head. TS Waseema stayed on well to complete the podium in third. Bred by Sheail bin Khalifa al-Kuwari, Fakhira is by Al Mamun Monlau out of Falsafah, who won over 1200 metres in Qatar as a four-year-old. She is also a half-sister to Al Safinat and Najashee, adding further depth to an accomplished pedigree. Related Story Source link
